You know, I bought one of those flat indoor antennas, but never opened the damned box.

It's hard to describe, because I never could've imagined anywhere like this (Memphis region) existed in the USA, but here I am, at least for now.

The news here is shootings, car accidents, drive-by shootings, etc.

If you want any reall news, you have to subscribe to their shitty repug rag of a newspaper. I mean even to learn what is being built in the area, what new restaurants are opening, etc. Ridiculous. And the writing is so poor, it sometimes takes awhile to figure out, so I just decided not to bother.

Here's hoping I can return to civilization again in the very near future.

THere are zero yard sales here - not joking. Crime is too high. SheltieLover Feb 2025 #6
Maybe before you spend money for an antenna, try putting alum. foil on the rabbit ears, see if that works first. SWBTATTReg Feb 2025 #7
TY, but I don't have rabbit ears. SheltieLover Feb 2025 #8

Hmmm, maybe you could attach the antenna lead from the TV to that giant alum. heat barrier in attic, it might just do SWBTATTReg Feb 2025 #19
